Book: Celebrities’ Lessons in Estate Planning
As an attorney-Certified Public Accountant for more years than I care to admit, I have had the pleasure of working with clients who have the strangest estate planning needs. But nobody out does them more than celebrities. Celebrities are not gluttons for punishment. They are just like us. They delay taking much needed action. Why? Because life gets in the way. However, when things go wrong, it happens in a big way for celebrities. We are going to learn what makes a good estate plan from the lessons of celebrities. Read about David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Steven Tyler, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Tina Turner, Justin Bieber and so many more!
